There have been some recalls on the W22 chassis regarding brake issues and possibly more?
I have a forensic engineer friend that helped to do research for attorneys before the recall. He recommended the W24 chassis.
The brake recall is now almost 10 years old so I am sure that any W chassis on the road today have already had new brakes installed under the recall. My brakes were taken care of under the recall and after almost 70,000 miles since it has been trouble free.
The GM 8.1l engine coupled to the Allison transmission cannot be beat.
It has plenty of power in the Western mountain when loaded and towing.
Depending on what year you are looking at you can have either the 5 speed or 6 speed Allison transmission.
Some of the coaches also had the Workhorse P series chassis and came with the GM 8.1L vortec engine and the GM transmission.
